We attended a five-vehicle collision on the A16 near to the junction with the B1040 yesterday afternoon. The collision was reported to the Force Control Room just after 12.40pm on Sunday 3 March.
Sadly, one man has died. His family have been informed by officers. Three children have been taken to hospital.
The vehicles involved are a grey Peugeot 308, a silver Kia Sportage, a black Mercedes, a grey Volkswagen Transporter and a red Scania Fire Engine.
The grey Peugeot, silver Kia Sportage, black Mercedes and Fire Tender were all travelling southbound in the direction of Peterborough. The VW Transporter was travelling north towards Spalding.
The road was closed at the time and reopened later in the evening.
We are appealing for information and dashcam or other video footage that may have been recorded from vehicles that were travelling in the area prior to the collision and have recorded any of the vehicles involved. We would also like to speak to anyone who has witnessed the collision or has recorded footage that will assist our investigation. Anyone who has information they believe may help the Investigating Officers is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit by email at [email protected] or call 01522 212316. Please quote incident 171 of 3 March.
